But a very different civil rights history evolved at the Ionia State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Ionia, Michigan. In \u003ci\u003eThe Protest Psychosis, \u003c\/i\u003epsychiatrist and cultural critic Jonathan Metzl tells the shocking story of how schizophrenia became the diagnostic term overwhelmingly applied to African American protesters at Ionia--for political reasons as well as clinical ones. Expertly sifting through a vast array of cultural documents, Metzl shows how associations between schizophrenia and blackness emerged during the tumultuous decades of the 1960s and 1970s--and he provides a cautionary tale of how anxieties about race continue to impact doctor-patient interactions in our seemingly postracial America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book was published with two different covers.
